Here is some of the terminology that contributes to UVA s culture. Grounds: The term used by students, faculty and alumni to refer to the University dating as far back as Thomas Jefferson. Campus is never used. First Year, Second Year, Third Year, Fourth Year: Instead of freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. Why you may ask? To be a senior implies that a person has reached the final phase of learning, a feat that Thomas Jefferson believed to be impossible, arguing instead that education is a life-long process. Commonwealth: Virginia is one of four constituent states of the United States of America that officially uses the name Commonwealth instead of the word state in all references. The other three commonwealths are Kentucky, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. UNIVERSITY NICKNAMES Virginia s athletics teams have been accompanied by a somewhat confusing array of nicknames. The most prominent and widely accepted of these monikers are Cavaliers, Wahoos and Hoos. Although the terms Cavaliers, Wahoos and Hoos are used almost interchangeably to refer to University teams and players, Cavaliers is more often used by the media, while Wahoos and Hoos are frequently used by Virginia students and fans. Legend has it that Washington & Lee baseball fans dubbed the Virginia players Wahoos during the fiercely contested rivalry that existed between the two in-state schools in the 1890s. By 1940, Wahoos was in general use around Grounds to denote University students or events relating to them. The abbreviated Hoos sprang up later in student newspapers and has gained growing popularity in recent years. THE CAVALIER MASCOT The costumed Cavalier with a large character head debuted during Virginia s 1984 football season and has remained the official mascot of the University. The first documented Cavalier on horseback was Francis Bell, a Virginia student from Dublin, Va., in Bell rode onto the field dressed as Cavaliers for Virginia s home football game with Harvard on the afternoon of October 11. The Cavalier on horseback returned as the University s mascot in The UVA Polo Club provided both the horse and rider. However, the mounted Cavalier and his horse parted company in 1974 with the inception of AstroTurf at Scott Stadium. The mounted Cavalier made its return in the Florida Citrus Bowl at the end of the 1989 football season. Due to its instant popularity, the Cavalier on horseback returned the following season on a regular basis and continues to lead the Virginia football team onto the field at the beginning of all home games. UNIVERSITY COLORS Orange and blue were adopted as the University of Virginia s official athletic colors at a mass student meeting in UVA athletic teams had previously worn silver gray and cardinal red, but those colors did not stand out on muddy football fields, prompting a student movement to change them. One of the students attending the mass meeting was Allen Potts, a star athlete who played on Virginia s first football team in Potts showed up at the meeting wearing a navy blue-and-orange scarf that he had acquired during a summer boating expedition at Oxford University. Orange and blue were chosen as the official athletic colors after one of Potts fellow students pulled the scarf off Potts neck and, waving it to the crowd, yelled, How will this do? UVA later served as the inspiration for schools like Auburn and Florida when they selected school colors. WAH-HOO-WAH The origin of Wah-hoo-wah is uncertain. The cheer was used to root on Virginia teams as early as 1890 and may have been borrowed from Dartmouth College, whose athletics teams were once known as the Indians. Legend attributes the yell to Natalie Floyd Otey, who sang the ballad Where er You Are, There Shall My Love Be at Charlottesville s Levy Opera House in The predominantly student audience noticed that Otey warbled the first three words of the song between each of the stanzas and decided to join in the refrain. By evening s end, goes the legend, the crowd had corrupted Where er You Are into Wahhoo-wah. The Levy Opera House stands at the corner of High Street and Park Street and has since been renovated into an office building. 3

While former Cavaliers Micah Kiser (145) and Quin Blanding (137) finished No. 1 and No. 2 in the ACC in tackles three years in a row, Mack finishing No. 5 in the ACC and No. 28 nationally in tackles was mostly an after thought. In 2017 UVA was the only Power 5 to have three players with at least 100 tackles. New Mexico State was the only other school in the nation to also accomplish that feat in Mack returns the second-most tackles in ACC entering 2018, chasing only Duke s Joe Giles-Harris (125), who finished No. 3 in the ACC in tackles in Mack is tied for No. 14 in the nation among all tacklers returning in HB Olamide Zaccheaus (above) and WR Doni Dowling each passed the 1,000 career receiving threshold against UConn, becoming the 37th and 38th Cavaliers all-time to do so. 7

Perkins transferred to UVA last January from Arizona Western Community College after leading the Matadors to the 2017 NJCAA Championship game, before falling to East Mississippi. Perkins originally signed as a top recruit with hometown Arizona State, but never saw action during his two seasons in Tempe. He redshirted the 2015 season and missed the 2016 season with an injury. Perkins father, Bruce, lettered at Arizona State in 1988 and 1989 as a fullback and later played briefly in the NFL. Perkins older brother, Paul, was a three-year letterwinner at running back with the UCLA Bruins and currently plays with the New York Giants. Perkins uncle, Don Perkins, played eight season in the NFL with the Cowboys. Perkins, who passed for 1,311 yards and rushed for 353 yards (5.1 avg.) at Arizona Western in 2017, is set to replace Kurt Benkert as UVA s quarterback in Benkert set UVA s single-season passing mark (3,207) and total offense (3,144) record in A THORN IN THE SIDE OF AN OFFENSE SS Juan Thornhill is one of the nation s best at what he does on defense. Thornhill has played corner and safety at UVA and owns 23 career starts between the two positions. Thornhill earned third-team All-ACC honors in 2017 after finishing No. 3 in the ACC in both interceptions (4) and passes defended (16). Thornhill also is a stellar tackler, finishing 2017 with 63 tackles, including a career-high three for a loss against Navy in the Military Bowl. He also finished No. 2 on the team with seven special teams tackles. STRONG SECONDARY RETURNS IN 2018 While UVA lost a lot on defense with the graduation of FS Quin Blanding, DE Andrew Brown and ILB Micah Kiser, it returns a pretty good secondary that finished No. 7 in the nation and No. 2 in the ACC with passing yards allowed per game. UVA s defense also ranked No. 9 nationally and No. 2 in the ACC in Red Zone defense in UVA returns defensive secondary starts from Bryce Hall (13), Brenton Nelson (13), Juan Thornhill (12), Chris Moore (7), Joey Blount (1) and Tim Harris (1). CB Myles Robinson started three games in 2016 before suffering a season-ending injury. CB Tim Harris has 22 career starts, but has missed most of 2016 and 2017 with injury. BLOUNT LOOKS TO MAKE DEFENSIVE IMPACT IN YEAR TWO With the graduation of UVA s all-time career tackle leader Quin Blanding, sophomore Joey Blount looks to have a big impact on defense. As a first year in 2017, Blount led UVA with 13 tackles on special teams, 11 of which came on kickoffs. Blount recorded his first career double-digit tackle game against Boston College, notching 10 stops while seeing his most playing time on defense in Blount made his first collegiate start at cornerback at Pitt in 2017 for the injured Juan Thornhill. Blount is the son of former UVA safety, Tony Blount, who played for the Cavaliers from and owns the 11th-longest interception return (63) in program history. DEFENSE GETS COOK AND HARRIS BACK FOR SIXTH SEASON UVA s defense welcomes the return of ILB Malcolm Cook and CB Tim Harris, each returning for a sixth season. Cook missed the entire 2016 season with a medical condition, while Harris received a medical hardship after appearing in two games. Harris suffered a season-ending injury in the 2017 season opener against William & Mary, receiving a second medical hardship in as many years. Harris owns 22 career starts, while Cook was slated as a starter at OLB in Bronco Mendenhall s 3-4 in 2016 before a medical condition almost halted his athletic career. Of Harris 22 starts, 21 of them took place between Harris missed the 2013 season opener against Mendenhall s BYU team with an injury, but played in the last 11 games of the year. He later played in the 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 season openers. Injuries slowed Cook in 2014 and 2015 before missing 2016 with a medical condition. He made six starts in 2017, including a career-high 13 tackles in the season-opening win against William & Mary. Harris and Cook, both hail from Richmond, enrolled together in ZACCHEAUS IS A BIG OFFENSIVE WEAPON Senior Olamide Zaccheaus returns for his fourth season with Virginia. The HB led UVA with 895 receiving yards and a UVA single-season record 85 receptions. He added five touchdowns. Zaccheaus is the only UVA receiver in program history to record two receptions of 80 yards or more. Zaccheaus notched a career-high 82-yard touchdown against Central Michigan in He then scored on an 81-yard touchdown strike at North Carolian in Zaccheaus enters 2018 No. 4 all-time at UVA with 157 career receptions and No. 9 all-time with 1,695 receiving yards. Zaccheaus has also rushed for 468 yards and two scores over his first three seasons on Grounds. Olamide is Nigerian for the blessing has come. ZACCHEAUS RECEPTION STREAK ONE OF THE NATION S LONGEST HB Olamide Zaccheaus has a reception in 29 straight games, which is tied for the third-longest active streak in the nation. Zaccheaus streak started in his second career college game, Nov. 7, 2015, at Miami. 8 TB Jordan Ellis needs 29 rushing yards to become the 43rd Cavalier in program history to rush for at least 1,000 yards in a career.

9 2018 VIRGINIA FOOTBALL TEAM NOTES SIX CAVALIERS FROM KEY POSITIONS OWN 30+ CAREER GAMES PLAYED Entering 2018, six different Cavaliers have appeared in at least 30 career games at Virginia. OLB Chris Peace and HB Olamide Zaccheaus leads the way with 37 games played each. Tim Harris (34), Evan Butts (33), Jordan Ellis (33) and Juan Thornhill (33) all have appeared in at least 30 career games for UVA. COLEMAN A PROVEN COMMODITY IN THE PUNT GAME Senior Lester Coleman returns to the fold in 2018 after earning second-team All-ACC honors as a punter. Coleman finished 2017 No. 4 in the ACC with a 43.7 punting average. He led the ACC with 23 punts of 50 yards or more and was No. 2 in the ACC, No. 7 nationally, with 29 punts inside the 20. Also, 16 of his 29 punts inside the 20 were downed inside the 10-yard line. Coleman also set a UVA single-season record with six punts of 60 yards or more. Coleman sat his first three years on Grounds before making his collegiate debut in the 2017 season opener against William & Mary. He sat the 2015 and 2016 seasons behind former first-team All-ACC punter Nicholas Conte. Coleman did not punt in high school until his senior season. He had played defensive line and receiver at Woodberry Forest. His high school needed a punter and because Lester s older brother, James, had walked on to UVA as a punter in 2012, Lester was asked to punt without any experience. Lester s brother, James, redshirted at UVA in 2012 and punted two times over three seasons ( ) before using his fifth year to be the starting punter at Western Michigan in Lester Coleman averaged 52.3 yards per punt over his seven punts against Boston College (Oct. 21) to break the single-game UVA punting record. The previous record belonged to Ryan Weigand, who averaged 51.6 yards per punt at Wyoming in FROM THE VALLEY OF THE SUN TO THE BASE OF THE BLUE RIDGE UVA welcomes two junior college transfers from Arizona in DL Cassius Peat (Scottsdale CC) and QB Bryce Perkins (Arizona Western) first met on the high school football fields and basketball courts in the Phoenix area. Peat, the first prep player in Arizona history to win four consecutive state (DI) basketball titles with Corona del Sol High School, always got the better end of the basketball matchup against Perkins Chandler High School. Perkins, however, got the better end of the football matchups as he led Chandler High School to the 2014 state football championship. As a senior at Corona del Sol, Peat was basketball teammates with former Duke All-American Marvin Bagley III on what was perhaps one of the best Arizona high school basketball teams ever in Peat started on that team with Bagley, current Arizona guard Alex Barcello, former Portland State guard and current Cal State San Bernardino guard Tyrell Henderson and current New Mexico forward Dane Kuiper. Peat at the time had signed an NLI to attend Michigan State to play football.

Harrison III Field at Scott Stadium, with its unique architectural design, scenic setting on the University s Grounds and exceptional sight lines, is one of the nation s finest college football settings. Opened in 1931, Scott Stadium might be one of the oldest campus college football stadiums in the nation, but you could never tell from its appearance. Numerous upgrades and expansions make it a modern home for the Cavaliers and their fans. Scott Stadium was the gift of Frederic William Scott and Elisabeth Strother Scott, and was dedicated to the memory of his parents, Frederic Robert Scott and Frances Branch Scott. Virginia played its dedication game at Scott Stadium on Oct. 15, 1931 against the Virginia Military Institute before a then-capacity crowd of 22,000. Prior to that season, the Cavaliers staged their home games at the University s Lambeth Field. Virginia has played 464 games in the historic venue.
